I first heard " 'er indoors" from a London-born neighbour when I were a rugrat, long before George and Denis used it. Loved it, even then. "The Minder" scriptwriters just picked it up. It appears to be quite a common East End term.

hub-bub, with the hyphen, gets 5,720 hits on Google
O my darlin'....that don't mean it's right! If you Google "Artic" you get 327,000 hits (and a little note saying, "Did you mean ARCTIC?"!) Google the kerrect spelling, Arctic, and you get 3,120,000 hits.
Proportions pretty close to what you get for hub-bub and hubbub, doncha think? but in each case, the former is WRONG, dagnabbit!
Which is my verbose way of saying: I vote for Number One!

Oh, I don't know, Juan, I think I'll take damned near any crap from a man who has flying squirrels ensconced in his rafters ... sheep are easy meat by comparison! Quite apart from which, I already knew where faldage came from, even if I'm not sure why Faldage took the word on as his sobriquet! - Pfranz
